I brought this up in a Joe Rogan podcast recently and nobody was interested in discussing it at the time.  Now I have seen on the Daily Show coverage of the lawyers for Facebook that took money from foreign governments for advertisement on the biggest social media giant Facebook.  One of the pages even had 1.5 million likes by Americans.

How can we blame American citizens for not knowing the truth.  Some of this stuff that spread was never fact checked or Googled.  

Thoughts anyone on how to keep propaganda out from foreign governments.  I personally believe Facebook is the devil.  I rarely use unless looking up a name as part of hiring tool in my S corp.

would have made a fine president.  Yes I accept my responsibility for my part of the blame.  I wasn't bothered too bad about the email scandal and investigation and recognized it was smoke and mirrors.  What bothered me about her was the abandonment of Americans and an ambassador.  She is most definitely qualified for the job.  She has shown with her head injury and rest that she is going to come back.  Would I vote for her if there was a next time.  IDK  Will I allow myself to be exposed to so much negativity, division and hatred spread?  probably not.

I want to be an entertainer.
Love,

my political evolution.  I stand behind everyone of them I said at that time.

Maybe you can explain the difference to me in my equation.

I paid all my medical through my business this year and will take a loss on corp, but will be refunded individually for my losses.

I just wanted some decent healthcare man or woman.  Something that wasn't a scam and wasn't a fucking tax penalty for not throwing away more dollars on scam insurance.  I play all their games now with self pay and treated better as a customer at Dr, Pharmacy, tests

Love,
Maddie

talk about my topic or talk about me?  That is real important for me to know.

Just remember Madison, it's always consequences for your actions too.
You brought into Trump's lies and voted for him.
It's hard for people to listen, to anybody that voted for this scumbag!

do you want to talk about my topic, or you just want to sling poo too.  People can't help how they feel.  And I am interested how this all turns out.

If anybody feels that ill will towards me personally or my character, please never look me up.  I rarely if ever have connections with anybody that wishes me harm.  Don't use an alias here then secretly meet me to hurt me, please.

This board needs to grow the fuck up.  That's why all your threads are getting closed.

I am focusing on Me now.

Love, Maddie

This according to the very same lawyer in the very same interview. The fact that the people you get your news from don't report that, thus you don't know that, is proof of who is being affected by propaganda. You, buddy. You are soaking it up like a sponge and begging for more.

So no one is wishing you any harm on here.
It was your own vote for Trump, that is harming this country!
Just stop acting like a victim because your choice did this to yourself.

You promoted Trumps lies a year ago and now you are changing your tune.

It must be something with Trump's cult training and these former or current Trump supporters.
So FM stfu earlier this week is a threat and now exposing Madison Trump comments is wishing her harm???

The bs responses on here are crazy and sound foolish.

the alias posters, that used another alias to tell me how they felt about me.  With the political climate today I have no more comments.  Love, Maddie

Why would you believe Trump or the GOP party lies?

They spent eights years voting against any ACA healthcare plans and lying about it.

The GOP did nothing about healthcare before Obamacare and really doing nothing now, but trying to destroy it!
It's not about improving the healthcare system.
This is about removing Obamacare.

Then you attacked a woman that spent most of her life fighting for better healthcare last year?

You could have done better research and this is what I mean about your vote last year for Trump.
He does not care about you or your medical bills.
Trump only cares about himself.

that I liked my own posts?  Please tell me how you can tell how liked my posts?  I have never liked my own posts.

...you must condemn the actions of any of the voters who were fooled by the Trump/Putin on-slaught of social media lies & deceptions, this is exactly why I never trust what is sent on social media, too many people believe that what ever is written is automatically true, I believe many are finding out that tweets are for the birds.

the approximately 35% of this country who still supports this piece of dung?

I don't need 35 I just need 1: the one I responded to.

You didn't even know that the propaganda was anti-Trump. That post is all I need to know where you get your "news" from and what you can be made to believe.

Wrong question! The question is, how can we not blame American citizens for believing untruths,when they choose to believe them because they want to believe them? Too many people choose to read what they want to believe, not what the truth is. Trump supporters love to hate Hillary, and want to believe the worst about her, so no wonder, when Trump is getting cornered on the Russian investigation, he brings up Hillary. Notice the difference between "consistently liberal" vs. "consistently conservative," regarding the breath of news sources. Back in 2014, 47% of "consistent conservative name one source for getting their news, Fox. While, 50% of "consistent liberals" listed 4 sources. If one wants to know the truth, they must be willing to have their beliefs challenged. This doesn't happen if one relies on news sources spouting what one wants to believe. We citizens need to be less lazy, and take a greater interest in our politics. Visit some European countries, or places like Japan. They keep a keen eye on all the political developments. Oh, by the way. Trust in our leadership, in South Korea was in the mid-80's in 2015; today it's around 15%. In Japan, it was in the mid-70's; today it's in the mid-20's. Hmmm! I wonder what is the difference. Oh yeh, Obama vs. Trump.

P.S. If someone wanted to know the truth about Trump, all they had to do is read the history. You know the Aesop's tale of the Scorpion and the Frog he so loves to tell regarding Muslims? Well he was giving everyone a hint that he is the scorpion! He was never going to change! And, anyone who knew his history, and knew human nature, knew that also.

the internet was never objective. With increased bandwidth and the sheer amount of users the problem of misinformation, bias and opinion has increased exponentially throughout the web. Even traditional news outlets like newspapers and television broadcast have been influenced negatively. There is no distinction between opinion journalism and objective reporting anymore. It's now up to the viewer or reader to sift through the information to find the truth and be objective.

what you need to do is take your own advice.  Because the tripe you post is exactly what you correctly say is the problem. You put up opinion as fact, fake news, propaganda and unmitigated garbage.
But thanks for stating the problem correctly, even if you have no clue how to use your own advice.

...Mass hysteria, foolish stupidity, believing gossip, unfounded fears, bigoted racism,  does that cover it ?

internet users are Russian trolls.  Do you believe that is why some online news sources cut off the comments section to better engage the audience?

Thanks
Maddie

there are many Russian hackers and scammers trolling the dark web. Perhaps online news outlets are affected by them as well. Most likely they did not like the responses they were getting and were losing viewers/hits due to the negativity in their comments section.  

Interestingly, 7 out of 10 Americans use social media with the majority of users between 18-29.  SM is a massive platform that has transformed politics forever.

...Yes social media has transformed politics & and many other aspects of our lives forever, kinda like filling a cars transmission with sand & expecting it to still work.

Spend most of their daily lives on Social Media.No thinkng about doing any  research to find any truth or fact for themselves.

Many vote for Trump because they found  the "shit" he was talking to be  entertaining ,and that the bigotry and xenophobia will give them some sort of advantage  (without having to earn it by going to school or taking other progressive actions ) as it did before Cvil Rights and diversity.
